OnGuard Lock & Chain Emerges as the "Unbeatable" Champion

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - May 31, 2014 - PRLog -- OnGuard (http://www.onguardlock.com/), a leader in bicycle and powersports security and one of the signature brands of Todson Inc. based in Foxborough, MA, captured the coveted title of "Unbeatable" in a product showdown on National Geographic Channel's "Showdown of the Unbeatables".

In the hit new series, Brian Unger and Zane Lamprey, the show's hosts, line-up the best products of American companies against one another in a battle where only one walks away victorious.

In the 20-minute "Showdown of the Unbeatables" segment, which aired on May 23, 2014, OnGuard's toughest lock and chain, the Beast Chain and Boxer U-Lock, were put to extreme strength and endurance tests.  In a test of tensile strength, OnGuard successfully pulled a full sized, 20-ton military tank. The lock and chain then withstood a blowtorch and a shootout at 40 feet, where it took direct hits from a barrage of bullets from a 357 Magnum and AR15.

The final showdown set OnGuard lock and chain against a Link-Belt excavator, one of the most formidable of all heavy construction equipment. OnGuard was victorious against the excavator's metal teeth and emerged as the "Showdown of the Unbeatables" champion.
